Maybe a few of you have been fooling around with ini file settings, commands or anything for this particular Hud setting if any - so can you adjust the brightness of the Hud? A player or real life operative may want to lower the intensity in some situations. And one more thing to ask can the Hud be turned off as well? Reason for asking that is only to help test the lowest brightness setting if there is one. That is when you get to the lowest instensity then if you can turn the Hud off completely then you know for sure or at least it really helps to tell what the lowest visible brightness is.
And sometimes a screenshot can look as cool as hell with the Hud off.

If you want the hud got get a spy to shoot you in the head. Your hud will be disabled for maybe 20 seconds.

Press F9, it toggles the HUD on/off

ack leo. do you have a brain in that head?
f9 does not get rid of the hud, it merely stops displaying objectives on your hud.

Thanks for replies. I asked before several months ago here as eTheo so it's not really a surprise that the Hud can't be turned down.
Someone back then suggested I try messing with the 2 or 3 lines in the engine[hud] part of the SplinterCell3User.ini. Tried all kinds of combos but nothing, the default is 0 in that code whatever 0 means, probably means a default of the hud being on. Yep I know that ini file is in two locations, one in Docs & Settings and one in the main installation. I could go back and alter both and one or the other in case I missed a combination, but I thought someone else may have found a tweak for it.

Enhanced reality can be turned off, but the HUD cannot

Don't forget that when you togggle F9 to remove the objectives it locks the sounds you hear at the point of the map wher you hit F9. IMHO: That bug needs to be fixed.
Hey blob.... I always kinda figured that a blob would have some sort of neural net rather then a brain. Can you confirm or deny my hypothesis? http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/mockface.gif

That bug sucks, but why would you ever want to turn Enhanced Reality off?

Well, enhanced reality can be annoying if you're trying to disarm a bomb and the markers stop you seeing where the thing's been planted. I turn it off then.
